Honest opinion
Stayed with friends for a weekend in August. We all know the area quite well so we knew this hotel was in a great location to access everything we wanted to plus only a 15 minute walk to Palma Nova. The hotel has been taken over by a Meliá so expected a higher standard and we got this in their renovated reception area, however it stopped there.
Check in was quick and the staff were friendly however there was no water station anywhere which is a first for me in any hotel. We were given our rooms which were pretty clean with comfy beds but very very run down and dates and the bathroom was atrocious.
We didn't use our room much so we didn't complain to reception, I'm not sure it would have done any good anyway.
I've stayed in a lot of Melias hotels and no matter what issues I had I always rated their breakfasts highly, they always seem to be excellent. Except this one.
Now this wasn't just a personal taste issue, it was a walk in, look at the food, smell whatever the rancid smell was (mushy sprouts I believe ) then turn around and walk straight out.
We had booked B&B because it was affiliated by Meliá but oh my word this was THE WORST breakfast buffet I have ever seen or smelt in my entire life
Tinned slimy mushrooms, old discoloured broccoli and worst of all mushy grey SPROUTS!!!!!! I don't know what nationality they were catering for but they need to seriously rethink their breakfast!!!!! The canteen like restaurant was loud, hot, dirty and pretty disgusting. The staff tried their hardest but were met with obnoxious, rude and horrible people so couldn't keep up with the demand.
I would stay here again in a room only basis if I absolutely had to but please, if you want to eat even half decent food......go elsewhere.
Positive note, the drinks at the pool bar were pretty reasonably priced.

Dear Katie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for providing such detailed feedback.
However, we would like to point out a possible confusion regarding the property referred to in your review. Our hotel is Sol Málaga Guadalmar, part of Meliá Hotels International, and located in Guadalmar, Málaga. In your review, however, you mention that the hotel is only a 15-minute walk from Palma Nova, which is located in Mallorca.
This detail leads us to believe that your review may have been posted on the wrong hotel profile, as Palma Nova is not located in Málaga and is not in the vicinity of our hotel.
We would therefore kindly ask you to check your booking details and confirm whether your stay was indeed at Sol Málaga Guadalmar. If your stay was at a different property, we would greatly appreciate it if you could move the review to the appropriate hotel profile or request its removal from our profile, as reviews should reflect the experiences of guests who have actually stayed at the property concerned.
If, on the other hand, you did stay at Sol Málaga Guadalmar, we would be more than happy to look into the points raised in your review if you could provide us with some additional details that would allow us to identify your reservation.
We apologise for any confusion that may have occurred and appreciate your cooperation in ensuring that the reviews published on our profile accurately reflect the experiences of guests who have stayed at our hotel.
Kind regards,
Sébastien Boué
General Manager

Enjoyable stay
We had a great stay at Sol Guadalmar. Location to the beach was perfect and the hotel was modern and clean. Our room was perfect size, clean bathroom and good size beds.
Reception was always helpful.
We opted in for half board. Breakfast and dinner were amazing, we were spoiled with good choices however no drinks were included in half board during lunch/dinner where other places would usually include 1 drink per person.
Our biggest disappointment was unfortunately the kids club. I took our little one to the kids club but most of the activities were in Spanish, the lady tried to brief us in English but it wasn't very organised so we left. I noticed most of the English speaking children around the pool but not many joined in for the kids disco and kids club.
Overall we had a good stay and we enjoyed the pool and access to the beach.

This is a beautiful hotel with breathtaking views of the sea and convenient for the beach. The only down side is there is not a lot of restaurants and other amenities close by but it was only a quick cab ride to Malaga.

Amazing hotel in a great location.
We had an amazing 8 night family holiday here.
From the moment we arrived we were greeted with amazing staff. We arrived earlier than check-in and were able to access our room which was so helpful. The room was very clean and had a kettle and a fridge which for us is a big plus in a hotel. The entertainment programme is great. Lots to do in the day and entertainment in the evenings is very good. The animation staff are very engaging with guests of all ages. We particularly enjoyed the water aerobics. The pool bar serves good food and the buffet style restaurant has a good selection of both hot and cold foods as well as fresh fruit and desserts.
There are padel courts on site for an additional cost and also a games room.
There is also a beautiful beach within meters of the hotel that has a real authentic Spanish vibe, lots of welcoming locals. With Malaga centre only a short bus away (bus stop right outside the hotel) there is something for everyone staying at this hotel.
This was our second time at the hotel and we will be going back again.
Special mention for Elena who was amazing with helping us when our child cracked a tooth.
Almost forgot we also saw wild flamingos in the nature area a short walk along the coast from the hotel.
